Dell Studio XPS PP17S Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are plug-n-play, which means you simply plug it into a USB port and the system will install the drivers automatically. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to send and receive signals to and from your home router. Buying a USB wireless adapter is quick and painless because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Dell laptop. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your laptop may have.
Subtle hints the wireless card needs a replacement ASAP
- Your WiFi on your laptop is unable to connect to the internet
- The WiFi adapter driver shows it as not installed
- Your WiFi signal goes in and out during the day
